Q: You wrote earlier this year that in-home electronic monitoring systems, with sensors that track a resident's movements, will soon be available to consumers as an aid in overseeing frail family members living alone. Where can I get more information?

A: I'm aware of two systems available on the consumer market that monitor and track a resident's movements. QuietCare, by Living Independently Group, New York, can be purchased by calling the company at 800-658-6939. Prices start at $199 to install and $79.95 a month thereafter.
